Insulation in a New Light
By Dan Hounsell April 2006 - Energy Efficiency
The renewed search for enhanced energy efficiency in facilities has covered all of the usual suspects in HVAC systems and elsewhere. Increasingly, managers' efforts to curtail energy use in the face of rising utility costs have focused more on materials and components that often can go overlooked at such times. Insulation is among the materials that has the potential to help organizations control energy use.
But maintenance and engineering managers also are taking a closer look at insulation for other reasons.
A Range of Benefits
Like many components of buildings, insulation suffers from an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality among many people in facilities.
"I don't want to say insulation is taken for granted, but insulation is taken for granted, " says Bob Gardner, technical services director for Knauf Insulation. "It's the biggest problem we have." Among the reasons managers might want to revisit their facilities' uses of insulation is an array of potential benefits.
Energy efficiency. Energy considerations remain the primary reason managers are rethinking the use of insulation. And the higher energy prices climb, the more questions managers will have about opportunities for savings.
"Facilities' favored rates from utilities are narrowing," says Tom Newton with CertainTeed Corp. In some areas of the country, utility rates have increased 50 percent in the last five years. The good news, in Newton's view, is that many commercial and institutional facilities are ripe for greater energy efficiency.
"They are probably better suited for energy savings than the average homeowner," he says, because of facilities' size and relative inefficiency.
In short, properly specified, installed and maintained insulation —whether the product selected is rock wool or fiberglass, duct liner or pipe wrap — protects against unintended heat loss as air is distributed throughout a facility. And as ventilation requirements for facilities have become more strict in recent years, the demands on HVAC systems have grown. As a result, the thermal benefits of proper insulation have become even more important.
"If you use the proper amount of insulation, you can save a tremendous amount of money, and you can downsize your HVAC equipment," Gardner says.
Managers inevitably will need to provide justification for such projects, but the good news is that for many insulation projects, the payback can be relatively quick. For steam-pipe applications, for example, the payback on the investment can be less than a year.
Indoor air quality. As awareness grows regarding the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) on occupant health and productivity, manufacturers also are playing up the role of insulation in improving the indoor environment.
"Insulation offers real benefits in terms of preventing IAQ problems, Gardner says. "But it's not something that's been a top-of-mind issue."
Insulation can help managers minimize IAQ problems by preventing moisture formation on HVAC system components. Condensation can form on bare sheet metal ducts wherever the surface temperature reaches the dew point.
The moisture then can remain in place or drip, causing damage, such as wet ceiling tiles, and creating an environment that allows microbial growth. Insulation can help address the problem by reducing moisture formation and eliminating conditions that can lead to bigger problems.
Improving indoor environments can have bottom-line benefits.
"Healthier indoor environments also can help control organizations' health care costs," Newton says.
Acoustics. Many areas of facilities at some point suffer from problems caused by noise, and many occupants are getting tired of dealing with the problem.
"People definitely are becoming more aware of the problem," Gardner says. But managers often overlook the role insulation can play in addressing the issue.
"Managers tend to look only at the thermal benefits of insulation, not the acoustic benefits," he says. Duct board and duct liners can improve acoustics by reducing the transmission of HVAC noise through the duct system created by air turbulence and the expansion and contraction of steel ducts. Insulation also can reduce the noise transfer between rooms via ductwork.
EPAct Arrives
Managers have yet another incentive to weigh upgrading their facilities' insulation, as well as other energy-related components. The Energy Policy Act of 2005, became effective on Jan. 1, 2006, and established a new deduction for expenses incurred for energy-efficient commercial. Energy-efficient commercial building property is defined as:
- property within the scope of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
- installed as part of interior lighting, HVAC, and hot-water systems, or the building envelope
- part of a plan designed to reduce annual energy and power costs of these systems by 50 percent or more compared to a reference building that meets the minimum requirements of Standard 90.1-2001.
The deduction is equal to energy-efficient commercial building property expenditures made by the taxpayer and is limited to $1.80 per square foot
The new tax incentives are "definitely drawing attention," Gardner says. "It's a step in the right direction."
Product Decisions
Managers looking for information on insulation that targets their organizations' needs have a range of products from which to choose. Making the selection process a bit easier is the fact that many insulation products have changed only slightly in recent years.
"We wish we had something new every six months, but we don't," Gardner says. "There's nothing space-age here. But (the minimal change) also means that nobody has come up with anything that has worked better."
That said, manufacturers have rolled out insulation products with some important changes. Some newer products have higher R values, for example. And one manufacturer has introduced a hard-surface insulation product that promises better durability and acoustics. Its hard surface also means it can be cleaned and doesn't absorb moisture.
Managers looking for up-to-date information on insulation products obviously can talk with manufacturers, but they also can work with contractors specializing in insulation installations to select the most appropriate products.
"Managers don't have to be experts," Newton says, adding that facilities' need for greater energy efficiency has heightened the competition among contractors. "Contractors will be out there fighting for your business."
Managers also need to fully understand certification and rating systems for insulation products to ensure the products deliver the promised performance and safety benefits.
Finally, as managers know better than anyone else, no facilities component performs as intended without the proper maintenance, and insulation is no exception. Both Newton and Gardner recommend insulation inspection and maintenance programs that include checks for damaged insulation surfaces, properly sealed seams, and surfaces that are free of debris and dirt. Without such measures, insulation is likely to fall short of the expectations of both managers and their organizations.

I agree. If my steak came out grey rather than my preferred dripping pink, that is obviously the kitchen's mistake and the server should not be held accountable (unless he/she refuses to return the item). However, not noticing that your customer is sitting at their table without food is the server's job and it is the server's responsibility to figure out why there is no food. Problem solving and then telling the customer what happened would earn the tip. Ignoring it till the customer brings it up and then blaming somebody else; sorry, no tip. I have worked corporate, commissioned sales. It was my job to stay on top of all aspects of the sale to make sure the sale went through. As the link to all the departments involved, it was my job to follow up continuously to make sure all the pieces fell in place for the customer. If the sale did not happen, no commission. My boss would not come to me and say "Oh sorry, you were too busy to follow up on that sale, but we will give you the commission anyway." Mistakes in life can sometimes cost you. One thing, you rarely make that mistake again.
Like I said, this is what I would have done. Apparently, the OP questioned what she did and is looking for approval. I, for one, do not think that she did everything she should have done in the situation. Both parties are partially responsible.
I would have tipped. servers don't make alcoholic drinks, the bar does. He may not have known it was wrong and since you didn't say anything how was he supposed to know. And in the hustle and bustle of a kitchen tickets DO get lost, it happens quite often, weather it affects the customer or not is up how quickly they catch it and how the staff reacts. However knowing that when it is slammed and you have 6 tables to deal with occasionally a ticket DOES get forgotten about and again that is up to how the staff to remedy without letting the customer know. Personally the only time I don't tip well is if it is blanetly the server. For example putting a plate that they need a rag to carry because it's to hot to hold directly in front of my 10 month old, or putting a drink directly in front of him and getting upset that he grabs it before I can and theres beer everywhere and expects me to still pay for my drink that I never got a chance to drink because of him/her. Getting upset because DH and I ask for fresh coffee because ours is cold and at least 5 hours old.
I certainly wouldn't have waited for an hour for a check either. However, when and if I didn't get a response from multiple requests from the server, I would have gotten up to find a manager.
Question for you: Do you, as a server that fully acknowledges having provided a sub-par level of service (unintentionally or not), still expect a tip from that table? Do you consider those customers "cheap" or "jerks" if they don't leave a tip? This is not sarcastic or rhetorical; I've never worked in your industry and am genuinely interested in your perspective.
Pity tip - 1-2 bucks like you did, OP. I usually tip on the pre-discounted amount, so I think what you did was fine. But I would have been tempted to not tip. I usually tip generously because I remember my days from waitressing. They do not make a minimum $$$ but instead make only 1-2 bucks an hour. So I usually do pity tip unless something atrocious / absolutely awful happens. It would have depended on the attitude on the server - was he or she genuinely sorry? If so, yes, I would have pity tipped. If not, forget it.
We did look for one, even asked the bartender for help. I would NEVER do a dine and dash but literally they refused to get us the bill. And it was just for an appetizer, I think, nothing big because we got our drinks at the bar. We waited for an hour, no joke.
He did seem genuinely sorry...just didn't seem to be the greatest waiter in the world (and we've had great service at the same restaurant before.)
I would have tipped my typical percentage on the $33. You received and drank the drinks, even if one of them wasn't the exact version you ordered. You ate the appetizers. It really stinks that your order got lost. It doesn't matter who lost it, or who was responsible for the wrong drink. Common misconception. Were it true, the tip would have to be given before any service. If the word 'afternym' existed, the TIPS legend would be a perfect example of it.
I'm with Goofy, but then again in Canada servers are paid at least minimum wage plus their tips (lowest in the country, for jobs that receive tips is $8.80), or even more in areas of the country with boom-time economies and labour shortages (my 16 y.o. DS makes $10.00/hr at McDonalds). At the point where a server (or anybody in any profession for that matter) fails to do their job properly they are not even "earning" their wages, let alone deserving of a tip. How about some "pity" once in a while for the customer that comes in to spend their (likely limited) discretionary income that THEY EARNED doing something perhaps equally under-appreciated and under-compensated? (I realize there is a bit of a cultural divide here.)
In retrospect, it makes more sense to not leave a tip, but OP, I probably would've done the same thing you did!
Yep, so do all the other fast-food outlets and retail stores. Mostly staffed by students during after-school hours and retirees and very newly arrived immigrants during the day. This wouldn't be exactly the same in every far-flung corner of Canada, but labour-shortage is a very real deal in many cities and the lowest minimum wage in the country (for jobs that do NOT include tips) is $9.75 - even things like paper routes. A little OT (sorry, I'm curious) - how much does this type of job pay where you live? When I visit the States I am startled at how many adults work in fast-food stores.
The meaning may be wrong but you still tip for good service. In this case, it wasn't good service. OP, I would have left no tip.
OK, why then are restaurant servers not paid at least that much? I've read several times in different threads that they're only paid a couple of bucks an hour as wages, and that's why tipping takes on a whole other dimension. (Heck, here even salespeople on straight commission need to be guaranteed a draw against their sales that equals at least as much as minimum wage for whatever hours they put in).

Rep Power:
The C&D is well lit; and, as other posters stated: simply stay to the sides when being passed by large ships. Ch. 13 is the communications channel in the canal. Be aware that a large ship running against a full current may create a large 'suction wake' .... so give them plenty of room when they are against the tidal flow.
There are two 'stopover' places in the middle of the canal: Summit North marina (just east of the Rt. 896 bridge - north shore) where you can get a slip, etc. or the engineers cove where you can anchor (Chesapeake City / Rt. 213 bridge). The engineers cove on the south side of the canal and 'just east' of the Rt. 213 bridge 'was' a bit tricky to enter due to shoaling/silting at the entrance that required you to favor the 'western' / right side of the entrance ... through to the restaurant on the shore ... then anchor anywhere in the back basin. There is a 'rumor' that the silted entrance has just been or soon will be dredged .... but Im not sure, so favor the 'bridge side' of the entrance and take it slow if entering the engineers cove. You might want to phone the Army Corps of Engineers at Town Point Control (Md.) station for further info.
When going 'down' the Delaware Bay, the engineers cove is a good place to anchor so you can leave before the tide turns ... and get flushed all the way down the Del. Bay. When transiting the canal in either direction, I usually stop and anchor in the engineer's cove to wait for a favorable tide, especially when going into the Del. Bay. The tidal range of Chesapeake is only 1-2 ft, the Del Bay is 4-6 ft. Strong winds on the bays will definitely affect the tidal flow through the canal.
Fighting the current in the canal is NOT a pleasant thing to do.... better to 'hole up' and wait somewhere, etc. The 'controlling' tide station for the C&D canal is "Reedy Point" on the Delaware River.
The Upper Chesapeake, this year is fairly free of crab floats; so, a night passage is quite safe if you stay in the main channel. But that can change quickly if the crabs start 'running'.
If you are going west to east (and on a favorable tide) the eastern / Delaware River end can be quite confusing at night as the Delaware River channel markers are easily confused with the shore lights, etc. and the Delaware River tidal current can be swift enough to promote a lot of sideways drift until you reach the main Delaware River Channel ... use your GPS when navigating this portion into the Del. River at night when the tide is running.
Just south of the canal entrance on the Del. River and near the Salem Nuclear Power station (NJ) there are quite a few unlit buoys/nuns that border the main channel ... so a good searchlight may be in order.
The Delaware Bay is NOT a place to be in a SE or NW blow when the tide is against the wind --- very short very steep chop. Be aware that the western shore of the Delaware Bay is a severe thunderstorm 'incubator'; and, even if NOAA is totally silent about T'storms if you see rapid cloud formation on the western shore - get ready for a 'snotter'.
Have a good trip. Hope this helps.

Personally, I'm proud of this country and it's ability to finally rise above racism and elect an African/American President.
The Democrats have been given a big mandate and with control of congress and the executive branch, the expectation is that their agenda will create the results we see come the next election.

Where was concern for AAA?March 30, 2012Editor, OBSERVER: I'm glad to see the paper's concern regarding the possible future problems to the area with NRG. I wish I had seen more interest in the closure of our local AAA office.... No comments posted for this article.

Maybe because I felt drivers/ssb/ was outside my jurisdiction - and unlike what alot of people may seem to think I'm not a full time MIPS kernel hacker. I can deal with SSB patch if you so desire - but I have no experience with SSB, so I'd have somebody to rubberstamp non-trivial SSB patches before I queue them up. I can keep them either in the usual MIPS trees on linux-mips.org or I could create a separate linux-ssb tree, depending on what seems to be sensible. Also, reading the entry in the maintainers file I wonder if netdev is really the list of a choice? Ralf |

I am on record as recommending we simply terminate the reporter.
He's making his list, and cheking it tice, gona finde out if youve been naughty or nice, Red Robins coming to town.............or was it santa that was ment to be going into that song? Well eitehr way Tims made his list of rouges that have to be systamatically taken down to prove his point, and this time it's the egiptian assassin Scarab, and it seems that the only way to suceed with that is to place a big bulls eye on his own head and hope that Wise and Cavallo ( the 2 crooked GCPD officers ) take the bait.
This issues starts out with Tim, on 2 crutches and leg braces, stearing down Captain Boomarang ( the man who killed his father ) through prizon glass, as Boomarang has come back to life with 11 other characters in the Brightest day story ( this is not a brightest da tie in by the way. Just look at the top of the cover. See, no brightest day ). The issue then moves back a couple of days as Red Robin breaks into Viki Vales apartment to finde any evidence that would alow her to finde out the true identities of the Bat-family ( as she hinted it in the last issue, and was practicaly hunting Tim down in the previous storylines ). He findes a pin up board with the faces various Robin's, Batgirls, and Batman with corosponding news articals, pictures of the wayn family and postets with question marks on them. Vale has a huinch of what most of their identities are, but no solid facts. So Tim sets up a plan to catch Scareb, bring Wise and Cavallo down and to get Viki off her hunch compleatly, and all through the means of his assassination. To say more would be to ruin this story, and so i stope here.
Issue #15 of Red Robin is a nice one. Even though it's following a storyline it's been self contained, so that any new reader could pick it up and understand ( mostly ) whats going on. This story arc is a compleat 180 to the previous one, where Tim threw himself into the breech by himslef with no backup at all ( untill the end ), but now he's surounded by various members of the Bat-family, not to mention brining in help from some of his other connections, and so were seeing a new Red Robin whose on a new mission, but who's willing to ask for help when he needs it. One of my meany compliments to this series, as well as the brilliant stories, is that the artwork seems to fit the characters and that continued compoliment of mine is to continue saying how good the artwork is here in this issue.
So my final verdict is buy Red Robin #15. Long time readers of the series will not be disapointed, and as well as that, due to the self contained nature of the stories from issue 13 onwards, its new reader friendly. So if your a new reader, pick this issue up. Seriously its good, or as a famouse cereal brand tigre once told me, It's grrrrrrrrrrrreat!

The Chinese consumer increasingly avoids domestically produced dairy products if they can afford imports, and for good reason. So why did a Danish multinational just buy a strategic stake in China's biggest milk products company?

Bail for Pistorius to be opposed
Bail for paralympian Oscar Pistorius will be opposed when he appears in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court later , Gauteng police said.
"He will appear in court at 2pm and bail will be opposed," said Brigadier Denise Beukes.
This was after the shooting at his home of model and law graduate Reeva Steenkamp.
"We are at this stage, as the SA Police Service, not able to disclose why are we opposing the bail," said Beukes.
Pistorius was held at the Boschkop police station in the morning, then seen by a Sapa reporter at the Mamelodi Day Clinic after a high speed convoy drove him there.
His sister Aimee was seen arriving with a jacket and white trousers, presumed to be for his court appearance.
His lawyer Kenny Oldwage was expected to apply for bail.
Speaking generally, and without commenting specifically on Pistorius, Beukes said it was a routine process for a suspect to be taken for a medical examination in such cases.
"The person is taken for a medical examination. It is a standard procedure," she said.
"They hospital staff test under the nails, they look for scratches, bruises, and blood is taken for alcohol and drug screening."
Pistorius was co-operating with police.
Beukes said there had been incidents of domestic violence at his house.
"I confirm there had been previous incidents of a domestic nature at his place, but this will form part of the investigation," she said.
There was no sign of forced entry into Pretorius' house and reports that the woman was shot after she was mistaken for an intruder did not emanate from police.
"As the SA Police Service, we do not have a report based on those allegations. We only heard over the radio that the woman was shot after she was mistaken for an intruder."
Beukes added later: "The surprise was that the information was given to the media. The police did not provide the information."
Beukes said forensic detectives were collecting evidence from the crime scene and journalists would not be allowed inside until police handed over the scene to the estate's security company.

St. Ursula Academy Yearbook
Founded in 1854, St. Ursula Academy is an all-girls Catholic preparatory school, the first of its kind in Toledo, OH. During the war years, the school experienced many of their students joining the military, several serving on the Home Front in Navy Communications, the Women's Army Corps, and in the Bureau of Aeronautics. Others, such as almumnus Eileen Mohr, were stationed overseas in the Coast Guard. In addition to helping the war effort, social issues were on the minds of these young women. In an editorial titled "Slaves of Fashion", Suzanne Straub from the Class of '45 wrote, "The feminine world lives on, shackled by such dangerous methods of beautifying, all for fashion." In addition to critiquing American beauty standards,the student points out rituals from other countries, calling practices like foot-binding in China "uncivilized". The Scroll is also full of Catholic imagery; faith was a critical part of the St. Ursula education. In what other ways does this yearbook differ from some of the public school yearbooks? Are there traits that can be seen in schools today?

But for fun lets go back over the last 2 or so seasons and see how many teams attempted to address the position with actual talent as you say and see how many
came out on top:
Jaguars - Gabbert replacing Gerrard.....trash
maybe not, he has not had anything solid in the OC or HC department since being there so may turn it around
Titans - Locker replacing Collins/Young.....trash
ridiculous, Locker is worse than Young and Collins at the end of his career?
Colts - Luck replacing Orlovsky/Manning.....looks like the real deal...but they had to get inside the top 5 in the draft to get him
Arizona - Kolb replacing Warner.....trash
Kolb never had a Oline in AZ
Minny - Ponder replacing jackson....jury's still out
no it isnt, Ponder is better, just needs more game time
Redskins - RG3 replacing Grossman/Beck...see the colts explanation
Chiefs - Cassel replacing Thigpen/Croyle/Quinn...Garbage, garbage and more garbage
Jets, Bills, Raiders and the Browns.....literally 1 disaster after another.
Raiders had Palmer who is better IMO and certainly no worse than Matt. In fact their new MATT may very well be better than ours this season.
you can go on and on with at least a couple more teams and pretty soon you'd be at about 1/2 - 3/4 of the league.
It's not about redemption with Schaub; most of you guys have to know deep down that he's a good qb...the best we have on the roster. Plus he wasn't
the reason we went south towards the end of the season last year. That was a total team fail

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin baseball team battled back late in today's game against Missouri State but ultimately could not complete its comeback attempt in a 7-5 loss at Skyhawk Field.
The game was tied after one inning of play before Missouri State (19-20) jumped out to a 7-1 advantage after five innings. The Skyhawks would put four runs on the scoreboard over the final two innings to put the tying run in the on-deck circle before the Bears halted UT Martin's momentum.
Taylor Douglas pushed his hitting streak out to 12 games today, as he went 2-for-5 with two runs, two RBI's and a homer in the ninth inning – his sixth round-tripper in the last five games. Taylor Cox (solo homer) and Nick Molina (two RBI's) each tallied three hits apiece to lead the Skyhawks (6-34) offensively.
Alex Boshers pitched a gem in relief this afternoon, allowing just two runs on six hits and one walk while fanning four over 5.2 innings. Starting pitcher Dalton Potts (0-7) was charged with the loss after allowing five runs in 3.1 frames.
Missouri State took a 1-0 lead after the top of the first but UT Martin came back to even the score in the bottom half of the inning. Chase Young drew a four-pitch leadoff walk and Ben Upton followed with a walk to put a runner in scoring position. Molina then delivered a hard single up the middle to score Young and tie the game at 1-all.
The Bears then scored three runs in the top of the second before Potts retired the side in order in the third. Back-to-back Missouri State doubles led to another run in the fourth and the Bears compiled a pair of two-out runs in the fifth to go on top by a 7-1 margin.
Boshers could not be touched over the final four innings, as the redshirt senior righty allowed just three hits to give the Skyhawks a chance at the end of the game. He retired 11 of the final 13 batters he faced, including a quick seven-pitch eighth inning where he retired the side in order.
Douglas and Cox led off the bottom of the eighth with singles and both advanced into scoring position on a wild pitch. Molina then lifted a single into center to plate Douglas and make the score 7-2.
UT Martin then played longball in the ninth. Pinch hitter Isaac Carrel doubled into the gap in right center to lead off the inning before Douglas connected on his two-run blast to straightaway centerfield. Three pitches later, Cox roped a solo homer out to center for his second round-tripper of the season. However, a pitching change followed and Missouri State would get the final out of the game on the next batter.
The third and final game of the series is set for Sunday, April 27 at Skyhawk Field. Due to the threat of rain, the game has been pushed up to a noon start instead of the original listed start time of 1 p.m.

Walker, Sarah Lucy (2012)
M.Phil. thesis, University of Birmingham.
| AbstractThis thesis explores the relationship that a theatre director has with a play text. This is examined through looking at rehearsal techniques of established directors Peter Brook and Katie Mitchell, and analysing four professional productions; A Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Peter Brook (1970) and Peter Hall (2010), Romeo and Juliet directed by Rupert Goold (2010) and Juliet and Her Romeo directed by Tom Morris (2010.) Through analysing these Shakespearean productions in relation to the comments from critics on how well each director's interpretation was received, I will show why the director's vision is important when re-inventing classical texts. In relation to Brook and Mitchell, this study will show how their individual methods were incorporated into my own rehearsal room environment to create two unique interpretations of the same scenes from William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The overall findings of this practical and written study will show how a distinctive rehearsal process, combined with a new vision or adaptation for the text will create an innovative performance of even the oldest of works. |

The Internet is hurting 'Real Hip Hop'
Is there such a thing as real hip hop? I mean, hip hop has been mutating throughout its nearly 40 year run into what it is today. As someone who has watched these changes from the beginning I can assure you-yes, there is such a thing as real hip hop.
Not every type of music gets a title during the height of its cultural enlightenment. Hip hop's came in the 90's with the label of the "Golden Era." The Golden Era was a time in the late 80's-early 90's that firstly solidified that hip hop was not a fad as many thought. Secondly, it proved to be a viable source of income for artists as well as corporate entities. Finally, the Golden Era brought a defined sound to hip hop. Every coast had a discernable sound. An artist could flourish without a "hit" record. Unlike today, they were handing out record deals like hotcakes to anyone with talent. If you had a niche, you had a deal. An artist didn't have to be tough or hood. They could just be. If you liked sampled music with a grimey flow on top you could easily find something from the East coast. If you wanted to know about gang life with some funk behind it you went to the West. Later the South would find it's voice too. There was an equation to the sound of the golden era and everyone (mostly) was happy. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

The complete series: Reel China
Chinese students flock to U.S. film schools to develop their creative voices.
It's not about détente, it's about making money. The partnerships give the American firms better access to the country's growing movie market.
Having rapidly increased its political and economic might globally, China is eager to boost its so-called soft power — its cultural appeal and influence — overseas by making animated films. But can it compete with Buzz and Woody?
Wendi Murdoch and Florence Sloan position 'Snow Flower and the Secret Fan' to appeal to audiences in the U.S. and China.
Films that have been blockbusters in China have failed to find much of a market in the U.S. Zhang Yimou's $100-million "The Heroes of Nanking," with Christian Bale and large portion of English dialogue, tries to change that.
The epic about the Chinese Communist Party stars China's most famous actors. Theaters have cleared room for it and companies are pushing employees to see it.
Without Beijing even uttering a critical word, MGM is changing the villains in its 'Red Dawn' remake from Chinese to North Korean. It's all about maintaining access to the Asian superpower's lucrative box office.
Many don't go to theaters, but China Lion is hoping to change that. Its latest film is the multi-genre 'The Butcher, the Chef and the Swordsmen.'
The growth in movie theaters is frenetic, with plenty of room for expansion, but it's not clear how much that might help Hollywood.
The native of Torrance has used a telegenic face and deft Mandarin skills to carve out his niche: playing the foreigner.

Bhattacharya, Santanu and Biswas, Joydeep (2011) Role of spacer lengths of gemini surfactants in the synthesis of silver nanorods in micellar media. In: Nanoscale, 3 (7). pp. 2924-2930.
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this work, we have prepared Ag-nanorods using biscationic gemini surfactant micelles as the media by a seed-mediated wet synthesis method. Towards this end, we first synthesized Ag-nanoseeds of diameter similar to 7 nm stabilized by trisodium citrate (as the capping agent). Then these Ag-nanoseeds were used to synthesize Ag-nanorods of different aspect ratios. With decreasing Ag-nanoseed concentration, the aspect ratios of the Ag-nanorods stabilized by these gemini surfactants increased gradually. Various Ag-nanoseeds and Ag-nanospecies were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy (to know the surface plasmon bands), transmission electron microscopy (to find out their particle sizes and distribution), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. When we used micelles derived from gemini surfactants of shorter spacer-(CH(2))(n)-(n = 2 or 4) to stabilize the Ag-nanorods, the lambda(max) of the longitudinal band shifted more towards the blue region compared to that of the gemini surfactant micelles with a longer spacer-(CH(2))(n)-(n = 5, 12) at a given amount of the Ag-nanoseed solution. So, the growth of Ag-nanorods in the gemini micellar solutions depends on the spacer-chain length of gemini surfactants employed.

Oh, gag me with a bowl of propaganda. The National Archives is hosting an historical exhibit on government say in what we eat and grow and how to cook it: "What's Cooking, Uncle Sam: The Government's Effect on the American Diet." From the opening lines of the website, you know our control freak "Uncle" has launched another major psyops campaign to convince us that Government Knows Best when it comes to food:
"We demand that our Government ensure that it is safe, cheap, and abundant. In response, Government has been a factor in the production, regulation, research, innovation, and economics of our food supply."
Though painting Uncle Sam as Mrs. Doubtfire, when it comes to the results of government intrusion into the food supply, he's more like Joseph Mengele. Over the last hundred years, we've seen climbing rates of cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease and neurological disorders, thanks to Uncle Sam's "regulation" of food additives and environmental pollutants. We've also seen the number of farms decline by 98%.
By Rady Ananda
Plutocrats aimed another weapon at the nation's poor and at small and midsized farmers, this time thru the 2012 agriculture appropriations bill, H.R. 2112, which the House passed on June 16. The 82-page bill returns some federal spending to 2006 levels and others to 2008 levels.
Now being reviewed by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, the final version of HR 2112 will lay the terrain on which the 2012 Farm Bill will be crafted. The House Agriculture Committee began preparatory hearings on the 2012 Farm Bill this week, reports NSAC.
Key sections provide deep cuts to domestic food programs, threatening food banks, low-income seniors, women and children, and farmers markets supported by WIC vouchers issued thru the Women, Infants and Children program.
HR 2112 also made deep cuts to rural development, conservation and eco-remediation programs, and to local and regional food system development programs. This can be seen as nothing other than a punitive response to the growing local food sovereignty movement.

No, Please, Disturb Me.
This product was disappointing; the material wasn't what I expected, the quality was supremely sub-par and it was extremely poorly made. For, perhaps, the complete novice who's unsure they want to venture into restraints with their partner? Maybe. For a couple who wants a set of travel restraints that are discreet and pack small? Maybe. The rest of us? Skip it.Published:
Unthreatening, good for beginners, inexpensive.
Poorly made, poorly made, poorly made.
Follow-up commentary
5 months after original review
I'm sorry to say that this one didn't make the cut; shortly after I wrote this review, the stitching on the other cuff gave out and I tossed the set. Since there are so many other awesome options for cuff kits, I'm not too heartbroken.
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the
FTC guidelines.
good review
thanks for the review!
